  1. Based on Pagel’s [26] test of independence between traits (100 simulations, 20 ML attempts). If Q13 is higher than Q12, X is more likely to evolve first, if Q34 is higher than Q12 then Y is more likely to depend on X, if Q24 is higher than Q13, then X is more likely to depend on Y; transition rates > 1 marked in bold.
